GUY 101: What Do Dating, AIM and Sharing the Gospel Have in Common?
by mr. oak
As I was aiming with a friend, I realized how much AIM is like asking someone out on a date and dating itself....messing up a pick up line
mr oak: hey there
girl: hi
mr oak: so...want to hang out later? how abou tit?
girl: ....
mr oak: i mean "about it"
girl: ....the walk out
mr oak: hey, i know you're mad at me but got time to chat?
[girl signed off]bad timing
girl (3:03 pm): which movie do you like and why?
mr oak(3:03 pm): well i think star wars does a good job of captivating the imagination and using spirituality, character, and environment to really draw you in. how about you?
girl (3:34 pm): so sorry! i got caught up talking to ken, didn't even see your window blink! so sorry! it's not your computer, it's mine.bringing up the past
mr oak: you always say that it's your fault! stop trying to make it about you!
girl: i NEVER SAY THAT! I NEVER SAY IT'S MY FAULT
mr oak: girl: it's my fault, it's always my fault
girl: STOP SCROLLING BACK UP!fighting
mr oak: FINE!
girl: FINE!

mr oak: *sigh*
The last message was not sent due to your warning level.jealousy
mr oak: hey
girl: so who's sExYgUrL2000?
mr oak: huh? oh..someone i just met through xanga
girl: what's she like?
mr oak: i dunno, she just randomly IMed.
girl: did you look at her profile?
mr oak: what profile? she had a profile?
girl: yeah, whatever
mr oak: just let it go, don't worry
girl: .....30 minutes later
girl: is she on your buddy list?
mr oak: no! and will you let it go!?and finally, marriage
mr oakwants to directly connect (1:22:26PM)
mr oakis now directly connected. (1:22:27PM)
mr oak: whoo hooo!In ways, there's a lot of parallels to asking and introducing the Gospel to a friend. The timing has to be right, the person has to be ready, and it all has to be motivated out of love.
In the end - the key to asking someone out, is just to be yourself. Being honest and transparent as you can be. And also - to never forget to pray. You have no idea what's in store for you - but there's someone that does.
Press on folks....

Hahaha! Very funny. Especially the "direct connecting" part.
I have to admit, I always felt a little...dirty, I guess, whenever I direct-connected with someone. Computer sex?
hi-larious...
lawl nice
This was one of the best blogs I've ever read. Especially the mess up over "about it" :P
Peace&love,
Brooke
"And also - to never forget to pray. You have no idea what's in store for you - but there's someone that does."

good post
man, that was awesome.
i would give 5 more props for that.
That is why I don't do online dating. I feel that if your going to say or doing any thing let be to there face. That way you see if they are lying or not. Plus the only way they can turn form you is if they just walk off.
this post is priceless.. lol
freaking amazing..!!
Haha.
That's just like the real life......
Timing and feelings are the keys for asking dating.
I have an online dating also...
and that's really fun, and just for fun only. Hehe
Whose mind even goes there -- really?
Brilliant.
i think i've seen that aim convo from chrischoi's xanga...

I don't do online dating or listen to people about the gospel :P
